fenugreek

Fenugreek (; Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae, with leaves consisting of three small obovate to oblong leaflets. It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop. Its seeds and leaves are common ingredients in dishes from the Indian subcontinent where it is called methi. Also used in traditional medicine, fenugreek can increase the risk for serious medical side effects, though its culinary use (in smaller quantities) is usually believed to be safe. Fenugreek is not approved or recommended for clinical use by any governmental health agency.

    Toasting Fenugreek for nutty chocolate flavour

    In my book "The science of spice" p. 207, it says to lightly toas Fenugreek seeds to create nutty, coffee-and-chocolate roasted pyrazine flavours. For how long and at what temperature should I roast them in the oven?

    Fenugreek, leaves or seeds?

    I have never used fenugreek, but am inclined to try it. Which is preferred - leaves or seeds? Or is it a good idea to have both? I note in people's recipes, that when they use fenugreek, they do not mention whether they are using leaves or seeds. I am at that, confused.

    Recipe Tarka Dahl Soup

    This is lovely comforting dish. It takes some inspiration from French onion soup which classically uses beef stock and indeed, you could use a light beef stock instead of the miso & Marmite. I just wanted to keep it vegan. The tarka with nutty toasted mustard seeds and fragrant curry leaves adds...
